Buddy Platform this morning announced that it has raised $1 million in seed funding from Transmedia Capital and Crestlight Venture Productions as it launches its ‘backend-as-a-service’ (okay we’ll call it BaaS just this once) platform to the world.

Basically, Buddy enables app developers to focus on building the best cross-platform software they can without spending too much time on establishing a supporting cloud infrastructure and adding important but non-core functionalities (push notifications, gaming, metadata, geolocation, messaging and whatnot).
